To Get You

I had a wandering ego
And a black vintage coat
From the broken-down past
Honey you'll never know
What I did
What I did to get you
On our summer late-night drives
I would switch lanes
With my hands over my eyes
Swerving right to escape
What I left
What I left
To get you to know you
Lost every little thing
To watch you to want you
Lost every little thing
To hold you I had to
Mastermind your dreams
To get you
To get you
Outside it's spring again
I'm drifting away
We float through cartoon clouds
Turning blue into grey
Turning blue into grey
And there's no place on earth
No place on earth
I know you could keep
To be a secret of our own
Bury it right next to me
What I'd do all over again
To get you to know you
Lost every little thing
To watch you to want you
Lost every little thing
To hold you I had to give just about everything
To get you
I dodged a bullet still half of my heart bled out ahh
Burned all the bridges the fire kept falling down ahh
Crying in the theatre to the scenes where I saved you ohh
That's what I did
That's what I did
And there's no place on earth
No place on earth
The wolves could ever take
Cause this promise I keep I keep
Is the one I'd always make
What I'd do
All over again
To get you
